Thats me, am new to the world of fixed gear bikes and absolutely loving it, took advice from friends and jumped in at the deep end.
I probably dont need to mention the childlike thrill of cranks racing round, feet feeling like they are circling faster than road runners, finding a line through traffic, reducing my commuting time by 30%, feedback through the pedals etc.
This is fast becoming one of my obsessions (along with music, dancing, competitive fencing and yoga). In 2 weeks time the fencing season ends and then plan to join the trixie dix and learn to trackstand and skid.
